Description

Even if you can't attend the show but would like a good quality Irish music CD which showcases the variety of instruments used in traditional Irish music then this is the CD for you. Too often visitors to Ireland are sold poor quality 'touristy' CDs (beware of CDs which include the words 'Celtic' 'Pub songs' '100 best Irish songs' etc) These CDs are extremely poor quality both in sound and musicianship and are only produced to generate a fast buck from unsuspecting tourists. Chances are you will listen to them once and never again. We are very proud of the CD that we have created. There are about 15 musicians involved in The Irish House Party and we got together last year to record this CD. It contains all the best performances from the show, including All-Ireland champion musicians and singers. The price for the CD is 20 Euro which includes postage and packaging to anywhere in the world.
